Article in Toxicology reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Methocarbamol is a muscle relaxant medication that is commonly used to treat muscle spasms and musculoskeletal pain. Methocarbamol intramuscular injection can cause necrosis of the soft tissue. This rare condition can create severe adverse event with permanent disability. Case presentation: A 32-year-old woman with no significant past medical history presented to the emergency department with severe pain, redness, and swelling involving her left buttock and the surrounding back area. Clinical discussion: The necrotic changes due to methocarbamol intramuscular injection can progress rapidly, leading to the formation of deep ulcers, cellulitis, and even abscesses. Prompt recognition and intervention are crucial to prevent further tissue damage and complications. Conclusion: Comprehending the fundamental mechanisms and identifying risk factors related to this complication is imperative in enabling healthcare professionals to proficiently manage and avert its manifestation.
